The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan

Just a straight hour of new wave synth. Slightly repetitive at points but it was a fun listen. Highlights: Complex Random

All Ratings (16)

Feb 26 2025

I never know how to feel about the Smiths. Sometimes they have really catchy and interesting music going on, but Morrissey just constantly wailing away in the saddest voice just takes me out of it. The music itself saves this album form being a 2/5. 3/5 Highlights: Paint a Vulgar Picture I Won't Share You

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Feb 27 2025

John Fruciante's tone makes me want to get rid of my strat. Highlights: Purple Stain Road Trippin

So by Peter Gabriel
Feb 28 2025

I went into this one thinking I was not into Peter Gabriel. But I really enjoyed this one. Some slow songs but the groove was there the whole time. Highlights: Sledgehammer In Your Eyes

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Mar 03 2025

I think I was expecting something more for how much I've heard about this album. I liked it well enough but it was sort of underwhelming. If this is a 3/5, its a high 3/5. Highlights: Wouldn't It Be Nice Lets Go Away for a while

Mar 05 2025

This was a weird but great album. It only got better as it went on. Highlights: On Some Far Away Beach Some Of Them Are Old Here Come The Warm Jets

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Mar 06 2025

Very fun soul funk album. Had fun all the way through.

Mar 07 2025

I actually enjoyed this album a lot more than I expected to. Rolled my eyes when I saw it was the wonder wall album. But I actually pretty much liked it all the way through, with a few exceptions. Highlights: Don't Look Back In Anger Champagne Supernova Hey Now!

Purple Rain by Prince
Mar 10 2025

I love Prince but this album feels more inconsistent to me. I still like Dirty Mind and 1999 much more than this one. But he two big songs on this are some of his best. Highlights: When Doves Cry Purple Rain

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Mar 11 2025

Its hard to rank something like this. Do I appreciate it? Yes, but would I listen to this on my own a ton? Not so much. I have no context really to even rank it against its peers.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Mar 12 2025

Listening to a lot of 80's recently, but this album didn't do it for me. I liked some oft he funkier stuff, but I kept looking at how many songs left, and that's not a good sign. Highlights: Like A Prayer Love Song

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Mar 13 2025

Just a straight hour of new wave synth. Slightly repetitive at points but it was a fun listen. Highlights: Complex Random

Moon Safari by Air
Mar 14 2025

Highlights: Remember Ce Matin-la

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Mar 19 2025

This album grew on me as it went on. I think I'll really enjoy it after repeated listens.
